WE WILL NEVER FORGET

Today, the Rockville Centre Fire Department joins our community and our nation in solemn remembrance of the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and in honoring the courage, sacrifice, and selflessness of the first responders and countless others whose actions defined that day.

This morning, members of the Rockville Centre Fire Department had the honor of presenting the colors at the Town of Hempstead’s Sunrise 9/11 Memorial Ceremony in Lido Beach.

As we mark 25 years since September 11, 2001, we remember those who were taken from us, honor the heroes who answered the call, and reflect on the strength and unity that brought our nation together in the days that followed.

Tonight, we invite our community to join us in Rockville Centre as we gather to remember. The Village of Rockville Centre’s September 11th Memorial Ceremony will be held at 6:00 PM at the Village Green, at the corner of Lee Avenue and Maple Avenue.

Twenty-five years have passed, but the memories remain.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

🏅 Congratulations to Firefighter Paul O'Brien, Firefighter Evan Lynch, and Firefighter Thomas Forman on receiving the Nassau County Firematic Bronze Medal!
On May 8, 2025, these three members responded to a working building fire at 266-274 N. Centre Ave. with reports of trapped occupants. Through courage, teamwork, and outstanding training, these members located an unconscious victim and removed her to safety.
We are incredibly proud of the dedication and bravery displayed by these members. This recognition is well deserved. 🚒🔥
